Bentley is about to lift the silk on its all-electric future. The British luxury automaker has announced a live-streamed presentation straight from its historic Crewe factory — soon to be the production home of Bentley’s first battery-electric vehicle (BEV).

Set for Wednesday, November 5 at 16:30 GMT, the event will feature Chairman and CEO Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser alongside members of the Bentley board. The timing is deliberate: exactly five years since the brand’s original Beyond100 strategy announcement, which charted Bentley’s course toward full electrification and carbon neutrality by 2030.

This new briefing promises more than just PowerPoint slides and corporate platitudes. Expect fresh details on Bentley’s first fully electrified model, described as the world’s first true “Luxury Urban SUV.” That label alone hints at something smaller and more city-focused than the Bentayga, yet every bit as opulent and unmistakably Bentley.

Adding extra intrigue, the Crewe crew also plans to reveal a limited-production new model arriving later this year — though whether that’s a swan song for the W12 or a collector’s edition bridging the combustion and electric eras remains to be seen.

The live event will stream via the Bentley Newsroom, and registered viewers will get access to a live Q&A session following the presentation. If Bentley’s track record of lavish unveilings is any indication, expect the virtual stage to gleam with British polish, electric ambition, and maybe a few surprise nods to the brand’s storied past.

Mark your calendars. The age of silent, effortless Bentley luxury is about to begin — with plenty of voltage and, no doubt, plenty of leather.
